TOMPKINS EXTOLLS SALUDA'S PROGRESS Edgefield Lawyer Pays Visit t. I Saluda and Writes Glowingly of f Past, Present and Future. A. S. Tompkins in Edgefield Chrcr.i cle. When our dear boys went across > ** the Atlantic to fight with La Belle France, our hearts were downcast and dejected?but when the winter of war was made glorious summer by our prowess in American arms and our boys returned after a time, we | * were all delighted to see how much % they had improved m every way? j looking fairer, fresher, fatter and I more ruddy and vigorous. So likewise when our dear young child and offspring, Saluda county, first went oif to keep house for herself, we were all made sad and troubled, but it was for the best; and now after some years of separate exist? ence, we are filled with loving pride and delight to see how this charming young offspring of Edgefield has grown and prospered, because Edgefield loves her with a devoted and ma ternal affection; and as Rip Van Winkle says, i4May she live long and pios| per." I It was our pleasing privilege to go B over to the town of Saluda last week, and it was a great joy to look at the rising youth of this dear young county. It has grown materially, morally and in love for law. Her material growth consists in most of her citizens being the owners and workers of many small farms?each farm well cultivated?and in living at home and boarding at the same ? \ro S?W a lot of piacc. vm. uuj >. .. teams coming from near Chappells with about 65 bales of cotton under the control and ownership of George Coleman, which he sold on the street, we learned, at nigh on to 40 cents a pound. Most of the cotton grown in Saluda is a surplus crop and means that much ahead. Then another evidence of their prosperity is the fact - - * ' i?? that their three oanKS m ^aiuua u<*\c ^ . deposits as shown by late statements, r, to-vvit: I . Planters National' Bank, about $650,000. The Bank of Saluda, about $365,000. The Farmers Bank, a new bank, about $225,000. Making a grand total of $1,240,000. Besides thfere are two banks at Ridge Spring and one at Ward, with deposits all told about $725,000. * Making total deposits of at least two ; million dollars. t ; Deposits at Ridge Spring and Ward in detail say: The People's Bank, Ridge Spring, about $325,000. ( The Farmers and Merchants Bank, Ridge Spring, over $250,000. The Bank of Ward, about $150, 000. Making total of $725,000. And besides this, many people in Saluda have deposits at Batesburg and other points. The people live in finp houses, well preserved and paint ed, fixed up with gas or electric lights, many of them waterworks and telephone and have good automobiles to ride in and show all the evidences of prosperity and wealth. Ker educational progress is evi. .fenced by a most spacious brick high f school -building at Saluda and others in all parts of the county, well attended with numerous children, as Saluda people are not ashamed of growing large families of healthy children. Then her religious progress is amolv shown by that beautiful new Bap X?f ? tist church at the old Red Bank site, with its stained glass windows, graded seats and melodious organ and other appliances; and the Methodist church is also a creditable structure and both having large congregations who are trying to walk in the paths , of righteousness and truth. ' Then as a testimonial of their devotion to law?you will find in the public square at Saluda one of the L handsomest and best built* court houses in the state, finished up with light pressed brick and having well equipped offices for the public officials, and with water works and lights and the very best internal finish in the way of seats and desks, etc., that you will find in any city; and what is so good about it that there is plenty of room now and some room to grow ?which Saluda is bound to do. She is growing in every way and crime is on the decrease. In the blessed words ^ of Proverbs we can say of Saluda: "Length of days is in her right hand, and in her left hand riches and honor. Her ways are ways of pleasantness and all her paths are Peace." "The Saluda Standard,'' under the management of our young friend. % Grady Hazel, is a nrsi-ciass county p|,. newspaper?a necessary vehicle of local welfare?with the prosperous tS;rv present to stand on, and the briirhtness of the east in the future.

The names of the good people who have lived in Saluda in the past are! numerous amid the public records of Zigefield court house showing that they were large land owners, and did their duty as good citizens?especially do we see them as jurors; and when we think of how many of us may have our property rights?our; liberty?and even our lives, held in the hands of the juror, we are impressively reminded of how important it is to continue such good and true men as these, to try the issues of such great pith and moment?as the juror is the corner stone of civiliza-; tion ?and wee to that people whose j jurors are corrupt. Such jurors as these good and lawful names consti- i tute the salt of the Bodv Politic. * Her histovy is pure, her ground is consecrated and we can feel in the language of the great bard: "But when the rising moon begins to climb Its topmost arch and gently pauses there? !
